Motorola announces Motoluxe and Defy Mini with Android 2.3

Motorola this week announced two new devices with Android,  Motoluxe and Defy Mini. Both will be sold with the Gingerbread version (2.3) Android, which is not strange if you look at the rest of the release of the manufacturers, the majority still do not have phones with Android Ice Cream Sandwich ready. Yet they have good specifications for mid-end phones.


Defy The Mini comes with a 3.2 inch screen, 3.2 megapixel rear camera with flash, VGA front camera and 1650mAh battery. Moreover it follows the same characteristics as the Defy line: resistance to water and dust and scratch resistant screen protection thanks to Gorilla Glass. Below is a video featuring the cell.

With this announcement Motorola makes our model very similar to the Defy line phones from Samsung Galaxy. If a manufacturer to launch a Defy Defy Pro and S in the future we will know who was the inspiration.


Motoluxe already has a 4 inch screen, 8 megapixel rear camera with flash, VGA front camera, 1400mAh battery, 800 MHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. A differential it is to have a bevel on the bottom left that emits light of different colors for different notifications. If this will be enough to sell the phone? Maybe not. But watch the video below and see if it encourages you to buy one.

Both receive what is called MotoSwitch Motorola, which is the new interface that must give way to MotoBlur. It is less social and more intelligent, so Motorola said. This interface will "learn who you most conversation and which applications you use most to make all this information up front and center." Sounds intriguing, but I need to see working before saying it is bad.

Motorola has not yet released the price of the equipment, but said they will be released in Europe and Latin America between March and May this year. In China and is now available Motoluxe Defy Mini should arrive in February.
